Does any or all older version of IE run in wine in linux? would that be better solution than download tons of 7gb VMs just to test IE?

Edit: never mind, found answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/190425/how-to-install-interne...

what a nightmare!!! It is simpler to just detect IE user and ask them to switch to ff or chrome.

It used to be quite simple with IEs4Linux[1], but it only supports IE 5, 5.5, 6 and sort of 7. Not as useful nowadays.
